How'd that change work out under GWB?
On a cycling related note (for Rick and CyclingPhun), be sure to check out today's post on copenhagenize.com which includes this link to an article at Science Daily about the Safety in Numbers concept regarding cycling.
Dr Rissel says transport authorities should highlight the fun, convenience and health and environmental benefits of cycling, rather than what he views as an undue emphasis on danger and safety messages, which can deter cyclists: "We should create a cycling friendly environment and accentuate cycling's positives rather than stress negatives with 'safety campaigns' that focus on cyclists without addressing drivers and road conditions. Reminding people of injury rates and risks, to wear helmets and reflective visible clothes has the unintended effect of reinforcing fears of cycling which discourages people from cycling."This link was posted on several cycling blogs, including bello vello, but Zak's blog as always invites intelligent discussion.
